Smith is an All-American, even-tempered back-country shooter who admits that he gets off on the pain of the survival game, but he is no survivalist. He documents those who know what it takes to stay alive in the wild, but relies on their knowledge to keep him fed and safe. He has found himself in many harrowing situations while on assignment, from facing grizzly bears to becoming hypothermic, and knows that to survive you need more than knowledge and supplies - you need the spirit to survive. He admittedly has no idea what he's in for, but wants to test the boundaries of his spirit.
